A new additional linac injector called RILAC2 has been constructed at the RIKEN Nishina Center so that RIBF experiments and synthesis of super-heavy element can be carried out independently. The RILAC2 consists of a 28-GHz superconducting ECR ion source (SC-ECRIS), a low-energy beam transport with a prebuncher, a four-rod RFQ linac, three drift-tube linac tanks (DTL1-3), a rebuncher between the RFQ and DTL1, and strong quadrupole magnets that were placed between the rf resonators for the transverse focusing. Very heavy ions with mass-to-charge ratio of 7, such as ¹³⁶Xe²⁰⁺ and ²³⁸U³⁵⁺, are accelerated up to an energy of 680 keV/u in the cw mode and injected into the RRC without charge stripping. The rf resonators excluding the pre-buncher are operated at a fixed rf frequency of 36.5 MHz, whereas the pre-buncher is operated at 18.25 MHz. The basic design of the RILAC2 was finished in 2006 and the construction has started since the budget was approved at the end of FY2008. The SC-ECRIS is installed in a new room, and other equipments are placed in the existing AVF-cyclotron vault. This contribution mainly presents the details of the construction of linac part.

Recent developments and upgrade program in the near future at RIKEN RI-Beam Factory (RIBF) are presented. The beam intensity and available ion species are increasing at RIBF, owing to the continuous efforts that have been paid since the first beam in 2006. So far, we accelerated deuteron, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, aluminum, calcium, krypton, and uranium beams with the superconducting ring cyclotron, SRC. The extracted beam intensities reached 1,000 pnA for helium and oxygen beams. From the operational point of view, however, the intensity of the uranium beam should be much increased. We are, therefore, constructing a new injector linac for the RIBF, consisting of a superconducting ECR ion source, RFQ, and DTL, which will be commissioned in this fiscal year. By using this injector, we also aim at independent operation of the RIBF and GARIS facility for super-heavy element synthesis.

In the present work, many varieties of beam diagnostics have been played a tremendous role for the RIBF (RI Beam Factory) in RIKEN. During beam user's experiments, it is essential to keep the beam transmission efficiency as high as possible, because the production of RI beams requires an intense primary beam, and the activation of the beam transport chambers induced by beam loss should be avoided. This presentation will include the overview of the Faraday cups, the transverse beam profile monitors, radial probes and phase probes to tune the accelerators and the beam transport line. To realize the stable operation of the accelerator complex, the nondestructive monitoring system of RF fields and beam-phase by using lock-in amplifies are used. Plastic scintillation monitors have been fabricated to evaluate the energy and longitudinal profiles of heavy-ion beams. Furthermore, a highly sensitive beam current (position) monitor with a high Tc (Critical Temperature) SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) monitor, has been developed. We will report the present status of the facility, the details of the beam diagnostics and the results of the beam measurement.
